$SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation)

Engineering and enterprise IT provider $SAIC said that during 1Q17, it deployed $59MM of capital consisting of $14MM in cash dividends, $15MM of debt repayments and $30MM of share repurchases representing about 622,000 shares. The company expects to pay dividends of about $55MM, making scheduled debt repayments of $54MM during FY17.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded $SAIC the Information Technology Governance, Management, Strategy and Security blanket purchase agreement to provide enterprise architecture and security support services to the USDA. The multiple-award agreement has a ceiling value of $250MM for all awardees. $SAIC is one of two awardees.

$SAIC has been awarded a $165MM contract by the Commonwealth of
Virginia to serve as a multisourcing service integrator (MSI) to help modernize
the state’s technology infrastructure. The single-award contract has a
five-year base period of performance, two, two-year options, and a potential
value of $272MM, if all options are exercised.

$SAIC received a $621MM U.S. Central Command task order to provide IT support services to the J6 Directorate. The single-award contract has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options, and two one-year performance-based term periods.

$SAIC received a prime contract from the State of Maryland to provide information technology (IT) solutions and services to its agencies. The multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract has an 11-year period of performance and is worth about $2.5Bil for all awardees.

$SAIC said the
$9MM relating to the platform integration program were costs or investments
that were decided to be made in 1Q18. The company expects an additional $3MM of
impact for full-year 2018. So the total full-year impact of platform
integration will be $12MM or 30BP in 2018.

$SAIC expects free cash flow of $240MM for FY18. In FY18, $SAIC expects
to pay dividends of about $55MM, make total debt payments of about $25MM with
the remainder of cash in excess of $150MM available for further share
repurchase and strategic M&A.

$SAIC's contract
award activity in 1Q18 led to bookings of approx. $1.3Bil which translates to a
strong book-to-bill of 1.2. At the end of 1Q18, $SAIC’s total contract backlog
increased to approx. $8.2Bil and funded contract backlog was $1.8Bil. The
estimated value of $SAIC’s submitted proposals awaiting award was about
$13.2Bil.

$SAIC reported
an increase in 1Q18 earnings helped by lower income tax expense. Net income was
$49MM or $1.08 per share compared to $33MM or $0.71 per share in 1Q17. Revenues
decreased 9% to $1.10Bil versus 1Q17 primarily due to one additional week in 1Q17,
contracts losses and other net declines across the portfolio.

The General Services Administration, on behalf of the US Army
Software Engineering Directorate, awarded $SAIC the Virtual, Interactive, and
Multimedia, System Engineering Services task order worth more than $404MM. The
task order has a one-year period of performance, four one-year options, and
work will be performed in Alabama.

$SAIC said the recompete contracts are in the $40-50MM range YoY
which will create a headwind going into FY18. $SAIC expects the FY18 revenue
run rate to be comparable to FY17 results. There is upside in 3Q18 and 4Q18 in
particular based on pending decisions and timing of future awards of the
submitted proposals.

In 4Q17, $SAIC’s operating income increased $7MM to 5.9% of
revenues, up from 5% for 4Q16. This increase was primarily due to lower
acquisition and integration expenses, lower intangible asset amortization and
cost savings initiatives. EBITDA increased to 7.1% of revenues in 4Q17.

$SAIC's contract
award activity in 4Q17 led to bookings of approx. $800MM which translates to a
book-to-bill of 0.8. For FY17, the book-to-bill was 1.2. At the end of FY17,
$SAIC’s total contract backlog was approx. $8Bil and funded contract backlog
was $1.8Bil. The estimated value of $SAIC’s submitted proposals awaiting award
is about $15.5Bil.

During 4Q17, $SAIC's revenue fell 4% YoY to $1.02Bil from $1.07Bil during 4Q16. The decrease was primarily due to lower subcontractor activity,re-compete loss of an IT integration program for the Department of Homeland Security and customer driven delays on a Marine Corp IT services program.

$SAIC appointed Shane Canestra as director of Investor Relations, effective immediately. Canestra will succeed Paul Levi, who is transitioning to the role of Corporate Development, and maintaining his Sector Finance Operations duties.
